Syllabus

<p>1. Cloud upon title—adverse claim wider a will. Where the adverse party in a suit to remove a cloud upon title is in the possession of the land in dispute, claiming to hold the same under a will which is alleged to be invalid for want of testamentary capacity on the part of the testator, a bill can not be maintained by another claimant to set aside the will as a cloud upon his title.</p> <p>2. Probate op will—who may object. A person not pecuniarily interested in the estate of a deceased person at the time of the probate of the will of such decedent, is not entitled to file a bill in chancery for the purpose of contesting the will. A purchaser after the probate of such will can not maintain such a bill.</p>
